Having just looked at the new issue Christmas stamps, I was very disappointed.  It was good to see overtly Christian themes (not that I object to the alternate years having 'fun' themes)  and they are beautiful designs but... oh so white, western middle class.  I almost - but only almost - prefer the Blue Peter kids competition winners approach, because they feel more authentic somehow

A little internet trawling reminded me what I'd forgotten, that in 2005 we had wonderful ethnically diverse madonnas to adorn our post.

Personally, I prefer the 2005 stamps and would cheerfully have them all over again - what do others think?
